SANDISK has unveiled a new modular storage ‘Ecosystem’, the PRO-BLADE Modular SSD.

The PRO-BLADE SSD mag is an NVMe SSD that comes in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB sizes. It offers three meter drop protection and 4,000 lbs crush resistance.
The PRO-BLADE Transport Portable USB-C SSD enclosure holds one PRO-BLADE mag, and offers additional protection as well as read/write speeds of up to 2000MB/s over USB-C.
